The pigsty has to be built after a careful miscalculation of animals who will contain in it further.
Instruction
1. At construction of the pigsty it is possible to use practically any material which for certain is available much in any economy. It can be a brick, boards or logs. But it is desirable not to use in this case such concrete as it is quite cold construction material. Otherwise pigs can suffer in cold time from cold, and it can badly affect gain.
2. The internal room needs to be divided for keeping of small groups of pigs. Make for this purpose fences of boards and fence off the place for a pig with pigs, separately there has to be a town for a hog. As pigs are animals very pugnacious, and it is desirable to hold them separately in order to avoid fights, it can lead to death pigs.
3. Pay special attention to construction of a floor in the pigsty. Make it of the stamped filling brick on hydraulic cement or of the brick put in the form of a fir-tree by an edge and which is filled in with cement mortar. A floor from a cane and the earth will very quickly become impregnated with urine therefore is unhygienic, also as well as a trellised wooden floor. In such floor rats are often got and from it it is difficult to clean manure. It is desirable for Paule to do with a small bias that urine could flow down in the ditches going along the pigsty.
4. In the pigsty surely make windows and the air-channel. Doors have to open outside, it is necessary to avoid drafts. At construction of the pigsty provide walking - it is a dry and clean court yard for walk of pigs. In it it is possible to put a bathtub or a trough for bathing of animals. Do not forget to make adaptation about which pigs could scratch.
5. Little pigs have no fat layer and if there is no warm place, he will freeze and can get sick with pulmonary diseases. Therefore take care of optimum temperature, it has to be 28-30 degrees if pigs are more than one month old – 18-20 degrees. Organize local heating, for this purpose use wooden boxes (80х50х50) with a manhole, over a box hang up an electric lamp which power has to be 150-200 watts. Regulate temperature height of its arrangement.
